MSTAR4 (Managed Services for Temporary Agency Resources - 653F) is live


Our updated MSTAR4 (653F) framework offers customers a quick, simple and competitive route to procuring a managed service for temporary agency resources. Its main focus is on managed service solutions to meet specified objectives, and so it has been divided to allow for different types of service delivery models. The new version also has improved specification for worker holiday pay, as well as simplied pricing making it easier for you to understand and use.

The framework offers the following Lots:


Lot 1 - Master and neutral vendors

Lot 2 - Vendor management system


Lot 3 - Talent pool technology

Lot 4 - Statement of works (project delivery)


Benefits

  • The delivery models within all Lots may be developed further to offer additional levels of service.
  • Customers can choose and build up their bespoke 'Hybrid/Total Talent Management' delivery model.
  • Total transparency on costs involved if wanting to add or remove services.
  • This is fourth in a series of successful frameworks – demonstrating ESPO’s proven experience, market knowledge and procurement know-how in the temporary staffing market.
